Snapshots and block-copy have a flag that forces qemu to re-use existing file. Our docs weren't exactly clear on what the existing file should contain for this to actually work. Re-word the docs a bit to state that the file needs to be pre-created in the desired format and the backing chain metadata needs to be set prior to handing it over to qemu.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
